MORE INFORMATION:
After welcoming you to the Cookery School with a fresh tea or coffee our Tutors will guide you through a series of demonstrations before you start creating your own afternoon tea display including tarts, cakes, biscuits and savoury treats.
The more challenging areas of baking, pastry-making and presentation will be covered and there will be plenty of opportunity to gain some inspiring and imaginative ideas from our experienced tutors.
